Hotel Ohus Gastis (Åhus Gästgivaregård)

The hotel was built at the very beginning of the 1700s.

Then in one half of the house there was a hotel for sailors and port workers, and in the other … they were selling brandy.

On the second floor there was a restaurant for those who are richer.

Today, the hotel atmosphere is more democratic. There are about 20 rooms with furniture of the 19th century, antique books on the shelves and a deck board on the floor.

The on-site restaurant offers a multi-course menu, which is prepared using products from local producers or from the hotel’s own garden.

We are happy to accept guests with animals (surcharge 150 CZK).
